Video Review of Takara Transformers Legends LG-EX Black Convoy with Comparisons

chuckdawg, we already GOT an updated Fracas. Back in 2008. Except it was called Nightstick and packaged with Cyclonus because Marvel Productions goofed when making The Rebirth.

I meant one to go with wave 1 Scourge. Could make a new mold for him no?

Pure epicness!

See, i told you Black Convoy has a unique Base Mode

Very unlikely.

I know. It'd be hilarious though. On the other hand, it's not like it'd be a hard thing to make oneself.

Why would you need one? All you'd need is the Universe "Nightstick" mold with Fracas' color arrangement.

It's Nightstick who needs a new mold, one in his actual design.

I think it would be nice to have a new Fracas AND Nightstick, actually, in the new style and aesthetic matching Takara's "Targetmaster" additions to the Legends line. The "Nightstick" from Universe 2008 Cyclonus was great at the time, but doesn't really fit in with this new generation of designs. Maybe Takara will release the pair of them as a set at the same price point of a legends class figure and a Titan Master.

Looking forward to some stock photos. While I know what to expect from Perceptor's deco, I'm curious to see the Titan Master. Still hoping it'd be Nijika.

Already have the perfect Bumblebee but I like that the legend toy can carry a Titan Master or Spike. And if it's packed with the Cerebros head that would be great.

Now that you spoiled it, it's gonna be the Headmaster of Windblade.

Sadly, Windblade's Titan Master doesn't resemble Nijika either:



Which is a missed opportunity in her case since Takara could have made the whole Windblade figure into Nijika herself, allowing the previous Windblade figure to remain as Windblade while the new one could have been turned into her sister Nijika.

And which would have also enabled Perceptor and Nijika to coexist as separate individuals.

Rumour: mode details about upcoming Legends figures:



If true -- no new head for Perceptor. :/

Man, I would've loved a target reticle head for Perceptor; but I should've known it wasn't happening

Surprised at the new head for Octane. Isn't the one he has already in the Hasbro version accurate to all his appearances; original toy, cartoon and comics?

Courtesy of fellow user Cyberpath; we have some new details about some upcoming Takara Legends products according to Planet Iacon, specifically the changes from the Hasbro Titans Return versions of Bumblebee, Slugslinger, Perceptor and Octane.

Naturally all of them have new decos and as expected Slugslinger has a new-mold Targetmaster much like Misfire, Hot Rod, Doublecross and Kup; but of particular note are that the Headmaster for Octane and the Spike Headmaster that comes with Bumblebee are listed as new. Whether this just means new faceplates like with Legends Chromedome or completely new molds like with Legends Sixshot is currently unknown; but nevertheless, tell us what you think in the forums!

There's one on Shapeways but it requires painting it yourself.

Hmmm, maybe it means that he'll be packed with another Titan Master like the smaller figures have so far.

Sweeet, was wondering when this'd happen. This'll make Perceptor perfect

That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.

The head of Starscream's ghost? Or maybe Skuxxoid?

A word of advice: Don't cheap out on the material. Order in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail or Black High-Definition Acrylate if possible, White Strong and Flexible does not hold detail very well. And given it's a non-load-bearing detail piece, the increased strength of WSF is useless.

I can't be the only one assuming the Spike Titan Master is going to turn into Arcee's head, right? Were I not on mobile in between meetings I'd probably look at earlier replies and find this in a heartbeat, so it's OK to make fun of me if someone mentioned this like four posts ago

Shouldn't that be Daniel as Arcee's head? I think the supposition was Spike would turn into Cerebro's head so Japan could get the same Titan Master the US got with Fort Max. But, I do not recall seeing anything official for confirmation on this.

Bumble with Excel Suit and Spike

After 30 years the Autobots have managed to weaponize the most terrifying thing in Human History...

Microsoft

"Foolish Autobot, dont you know Words can never hurt me?"

"Thats why we're gonna destroy you with numbers!"

"Multiply THIS, Megatron!"

Really hope that we can get Magnificus from perceptor!

I'm down for Magnificus!! ... and Mainframe as another possible retool (?)

So they're set for Xmas? It's gonna be a long wait

And Mainframe out of Perceptor? GENIUS!

You're right. We can officially mark this down as the 98th time I've gotten them mixed up this year.

No worries. I'm the last one to harp on this sort of thing.
(But, related to that, I hope we do get a Daniel and Arcee. I think we had a rumor at one point. It would be cool to get the Spike Exo-suit with Arcee face for it...)

Bumble and Spike

Spike= CEREBROS aka The Re-Birth version

Yah, I think we got that squared away above.

I wonder if the LG Sixshot would include Daniel Witwicky as a headmaster/Excel Suit as an additional set.

Perhaps the new Headmaster for Octane just means a different little guy attached to the existing face.

It's kind of sad, but while everyone's getting all excited over the Targetmasters and Legends Sixshot and stuff like that, the thing I'm looking forward to most an underside shot of Roddy's car mode to use as a guide for modding my TR Hot Rod.

Maybe Takara just doesn't like the look of the Hasbro face and wants to make a new one, like what they did with Kup.

Here's the thing tho: there's nothing inherently wrong with it from what I can see.

Yeah, with Kup the redesigned noggin was to better match the cartoon.

Unfortunately, we already know the full details of LG Sixshot and he doesn't come with anyone else

What I mean is, Takara might find the Hasbro face to be a little unflattering, and too stern-looking to match the more laidback and easygoing personality of Cartoon Octane, and so might want to make new face that looks more chill than this Grumpy Gus.

I do admit every time I see Octane's face, I imagine him saying "Come on Trypty baby!". Hasbro may be a bit to stern for that, haha. Octane is one of my top favs though so I will get Hasbro one and maybe sell it to get Takara when it comes out.

If they make him happier I would like that -- whenever I think of Tankor I think of this panel, so happy is how I know the dude.

Thought I had on the throne, what if the remolding to Six Shot is to prepare for a greater retool into Great Shot?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Thought I had on the throne, what if the remolding to Six Shot is to prepare for a greater retool into Great Shot?

Not sure how it would be. Greatshot has a very different helmet from the one Takara made for their Sixshot, and regardless of that new helmet there would stiil need to be further retooling to give Greatshot his unique chestplate, shoulders, and rhino head.

Wouldn't sixnight be more likely because quickswitch was released in that boxed set

Considering how poor a representation of Quickswitch that TR Quickswitch was, being a mere head retool of Sixshot rather than a brand new completely different mold, I doubt Takara would even attempt to use any version of the Sixshot mold to make Sixknight, given how slavishly reverent Takara is to the source material.

Yeah, TR Quickswitch was just stupid. "Let's pass Sixshot off as Quickswitch instead of going for the Autobot who actually IS a retool and redeco of Sixshot!"

Once again, I'll defend Titans Return Quickswitch. Yes, he would be better if he were a new mold, or more extensively remolded to give him his classic G1 modes, or even just moderately remolded, like keeping the new helmet that we saw in the original mock-ups or retooling the wolf head to look more like a puma. But what we have is pretty nice it its own right. The paintwork on the figure is EXTENSIVE. There's a lot of appreciated effort just there. Plus, it doesn't take much to mess around with the "official" transformation for robot mode and make a few critical alternations to his sillouhette to differentiate him more from Six Shot on your shelves. I fold the back wings down to hide them, keep the shoulder/pectoral wings tucked away, and turn the shoulder pylons around to make the wheels face the backwards. The result looks VERY much like G1 Quickswitch in robot mode, if he were redesigned to look less awkwardly chunky. As a bonus to anyone getting Takara's Six Shot release, that will make Quickswitch's helmet more distinct looking as well since Takara opted to retool their Six Shot's helmet. TR Quickswitch is more than meets the eye.

Right, because Galvatron was a headmaster in G1 too

Hmm.....dunno

because they're just reusing the same alt modes...means that this Quickswitch doesn't have his hydrofoil(hovercraft) mode

which made that destinctive to Quickswitch & not Sixshot...but....maybe...just maybe...someone'll be able to fanmode one who knows?

yeah but takara could just do some minor retool to make sixnight more accurate rather than doing extensive retools for greatshot

Sixknight would require far, far, far more retooling than Greatshot.

Because TR Quickswitch doesn't look like Quickswitch or Sixknight. If we're going the route of ignoring the molding changes they'd need, then by this logic they could simply do up Sixshot in Greatshot colours with no molding differences -- and that would be more accurate to Greatshot than TR Quickswitch is to Quickswitch.

Yeah but none of these figures from hasbro or takara are 100 percent toy or show accurate anyway sure some look closer than others and some are way off why would this be any different

You know all this talk while we all know the truth deep down: Six Knight will probably not be released anyway.
